Working in Germany after Studies

Advising and Job Market Integration for International Graduates

Together with the Federal Employment Agency and the Employment Agency Aachen-Düren, the International Office and Career Center are collaborating to offer a special program for international students. The project supports international graduates and students in the last months of their studies, who would like to work in Germany after their studies at RWTH Aachen, by helping them in the search for a suitable job. The goal is to prepare selected RWTH Aachen students for the application process in Germany through intensive advising and application-coaching, as well as to bring the students and German employers from Aachen, the region, and nation together.

Application materials always include a cover letter and resume. These documents should be specifically tailored to the job description in order to clearly highlight your skills. Please read our detailed FAQs on how to put together your application materials.
